Grabbing

1. Navigate to the assignment where you want to grab your grades from. See example below.

2. Click the big, green 'Grab Data' button in the GT extension.

   The student names and grades from the "Score" column will be retrieved automatically.

   You can display these scores as a fraction or percent to be grabbed.

3. Check the popup summary to see what was grabbed before filling into your next gradebook.

Troubleshooting

• Grabbing issues?

• Make sure you are viewing the assignment where you want to grab student names and scores. See the screenshot above as an example.

• Need to grab scores in a different format? Select points or % to be visible in the column.

• Receiving an error message? Find the associated help article in our Troubleshooting Area.

• Grades not filling into your next gradebook?

• Do the rosters match? Check to see if the names on the page in Big Ideas Learning look the same as they do from where you're trying to 'fill'. You can look at the pop-up summary or in the briefcase to see what's been grabbed.

• If you've got the right class, look more closely at the student names to see if there are naming discrepancies, like typos, middle names, or other formatting issues. To fix name discrepancies, go to the Advanced Settings within GradeTransferer and use the Pattern Remover or the Name Discrepancy Fixer to teach GradeTransferer how the names should be recognized.

• Check the platform specific directions for the gradebook you are attempting to fill into.

🎯 Remember to always review transfers for accuracy and completion. The GradeTransferer service can significantly speed up the transfer process and cut down on errors. However, just as with manual grading, it is the teacher's responsibility to verify that grades are correct within their gradebook.
